Got my review of the $100 Jinhan JDS6052S Oscilloscope done

I enjoyed the review! I will say, I usually am not watching reviews very often like some of the EEVblog forum gearheads, so I’m not sure I’m the best at comparing them overall.

The scope seems…well it seems like a budget scope for sure. I was surprised at your comments about the AD2, as I have found the software to be very capable, but the fact that it’s tethered to a computer means it lives in a certain corner of the lab.

I nearly welded a board recently…and not on purpose. I had not realize the ground of the board I was probing was floating. This had no was issue with my DMM, but when I attempted to connect the ground lead of my scope (which is chassis grounded)…well there were sparks. One the main benefits I can see for this scope is the fact that it’s floating. This would make the $100 worth it, to have when needed. All of the scopes I own (including the AD2) are chassis referenced. Getting into the handheld market is normally pretty pricey, as you showed in your video, so it might be worth it just from that standpoint.

Thank you for sharing what you’ve found!
